Buying safely on CyberShop
The short safety routine: talk first, verify second, pay last — and never pay to "hold" an item.
The routine: talk, verify, pay — in that order
- Talk first: ask real questions on WhatsApp. Scammers dodge specifics.
- Verify second: check for the ✓ Verified ID badge, read reviews, and prefer pickup or a public meetup for expensive items.
- Pay last: only once you are confident — ideally on delivery or in person.
Never do these
- Never pay a "deposit to hold" an item to someone you have not verified.
- Never move the conversation off WhatsApp into secrecy, or rush because "someone else is about to pay".
- Never pay CyberShop — we have no checkout. Anyone asking you to pay "CyberShop" directly is impersonating us.
CyberShop does not hold money, offer escrow, or guarantee refunds. Money goes from you to the seller, so the verify step is the protection.
